PPIx::Regexp::Token::Interpolation(3)

NAME
PPIx::Regexp::Token::Interpolation - Represent an interpolation in the PPIx::Regexp package.

SYNOPSIS
 use PPIx::Regexp::Dumper;
 PPIx::Regexp::Dumper->new('qr{$foo}smx')->print();

INHERITANCE
"PPIx::Regexp::Token::Interpolation" is a PPIx::Regexp::Token::Code.

"PPIx::Regexp::Token::Interpolation" has no descendants.

DESCRIPTION
This class represents a variable interpolation into a regular expression. In the "SYNOPSIS" the $foo would be represented by an object of this class.

  Incompatible Change: Parse of '@{[ ... ]}'
In versions 0.083 and earlier, '@{[ ... ]}' parsed as a member of this class. In 0.084 and later, it parses as a member of "PPIx::Regexp::Token::Code". This more accurately reflects the actual contents of the token, and enables the recognition of the full range of postfix dereference operators for versioning purposes, not just those valid in interpolations.

METHODS
This class provides the following public methods beyond those provided by its superclass.

  is_matcher
This method returns "undef" because a static analysis can not in general tell whether a piece of code matches anything.
